Disgraceful from @JVoiceLabour , taking picture of Jewish delegates at the conference and announcing they're absolutely fine.
Could you imagine if this had been any other group on another issue!? Their presence isn't proof of being content.. #Lab18
There is no such thing as a 'right' or 'wrong' kind of Jew. All Jewish voices should be heard.
This is however trying to pigeon-hole certain Jews without even letting them speak. Without even showing their faces!
Not only do @JVoiceLabour invite *expelled* activists Tony Greenstein & Marc Wadsworth, but they go around creepily taking pictures of other Jewish members. This is the worst kind of identity politics, parading Jewishness as an argument for your politics The #AsAJew brigade...
I was sent a recording before from a friend who went to the JVL event on Israel. 7 minutes in, everyone told they can't record it [can't think why].
They think they can go round taking pictures of people without them knowing, but heaven forbid you report what they actually say!
When Jewish News interviewed Jeremy Corbyn, we asked about his stance on JVL.
His response tells you all you need to know about how out of touch he is with what is going on:
jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/exclusive-corb…
Also, as per usual, the whole 'JVL' thing is actually a front for a handful of activists. JVL's key movers are the same bunch of people who are key in LAWH, FSOI, JJFP.... they just change the name to give the impression of having mass movements
There are not lots of different movements. There's one small group of enthusiastic loud activists that have different guises and organisation names for different events...
JVL's vile tweet has been removed.
